Entertainment: I really want to make progress

“Ding dong ding dong in the classroom, ding dong ding dong ding dong~~”

"Like the sound of your confession, your movements have always been very light~~~"

In the pony club, which is not open to the public in Beijing, in a luxuriously decorated private room, a plaid shirt is paired with jeans, and Zhang Chaoyang, dressed in standard programmer attire, holds a microphone.

Selflessly devoted, the waist and hips twist, and the dance steps are swaying and blurred.

The private room suddenly burst into applause, with models and beauties cheering.

Isn't this posture more lively than a singer's concert?

But not everyone can appreciate the performances of billionaires.

Zhou Yutang ate melon seeds and watched the excitement, chatting with Yang Mi beside him.

The person who organized this round today was Li Dagou.

After the celebration banquet for "Chi Ling", he still felt unhappy and insisted on celebrating again for his brother.

Zhou Yutang didn't show any pretense and agreed.

This is also how he adjusts his condition.

In a few days, he will be cast in "Now You See Me 2" again, and he must be separated from Chen Guilin's role as soon as possible.

After Zhang Chaoyang finished singing the song happily, Zhou Yutang took the initiative to raise his wine glass to him: "Mr. Zhang is really versatile."

This refreshing sweet song composed by Jay Chou and lyrics by Fang Wenshan is one of the representative songs of sweet girl Angela Chang.

But under Zhang Chaoyang's interpretation, the singing is ecstatic, without technique, just emotion, which really has a unique flavor.

"I'm just singing nonsense. I'm far worse than Mr. Zhou."

Zhang Chaoyang smiled proudly, and his butt had just settled down. Two models with explosive figures, one on the left and one on the right, instantly appeared to be double-teamed and hit people with the ball.

Hugging each other on the left and right, it was so fun.

Mr. Zhang clinked glasses with Zhou Yutang in a happy mood.

Zhou Yutang remembers that there was a time when he and Zhang Ruojun played Tian Long Ba Bu. At that time, when entering the game, he could see someone scolding Mr. Zhang.

Those kids must have grown up now, and everyone probably wants to be Mr. Zhang.

With a net worth of tens of billions, he is surrounded by beautiful and supermodels every day. When he is free, he goes hiking with his beauty, and when he is interested, he drives a sports car to hit the streets.

Mr. Zhang's happiness is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

He is busy enjoying life and has limited energy for his career. Sohu's development has remained stagnant.

Even gradually falling behind in the fierce competition.

Sohu Weibo failed miserably in competition with Sina Weibo.

Zhou Yutang played a crucial role.

He was the one who signed the spokesperson for Sina Weibo and abducted Sohu Weibo's business card Liu Tianxian.

That "My Love from the Star" brought unimaginable traffic to Sina and helped Sina Weibo dominate the world.

Subsequently, Sohu Video adjusted its strategy and bet on American TV series. This year, it suffered another blow from the top.

Since some people choose to work hard and make progress, then some people choose to lie down and enjoy themselves.

Mr. Zhang probably no longer has the energy and ambition to make progress that he had in the early years when he asked Erma to sit down and listen to his lectures. Good birds choose the right place to perch, and many talents from the Sohu department have left.

Chen Min, the boss of Zhou Yutang's Star Game Company, was originally a general from Sohu.

However, Sohu is no longer at its peak, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Zhang Chaoyang adjusted Sohu Video’s operating strategy and focused its flagship products on small-scale self-produced online dramas.

"Diaosi Men", which broke out on the Internet, was produced by Sohu.

Looking away from Zhou Yutang who was talking to Li Dagou, Dong Xiaopeng came to Zhang Chaoyang's side, holding a bottle of Corona, and sighed and praised: "Boss, you sang so well just now, I even think of my first love, I must respect you. "

"Tons, tons, tons!"

While talking, Dong Xiaopeng showed off a bottle very simply.

"Do you have something to do with Zhou Yutang?"

Zhang Chaoyang also took a sip of wine and looked at Dong Xiaopeng with a half-smile.

Reaching out and patting the thigh of the girl next to her, the female model immediately understood and knew that the boss wanted to talk, so she sat aside obediently.

"You really can't hide anything from the boss."

Dong Xiaopeng pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "It's really difficult to meet that immortal. I can't even make an appointment. If you hadn't brought me to this station, boss, I might not have been able to meet him. he."

"Xiaopeng."

Zhang Chaoyang put down the wine glass in his hand and said slowly: "You and I have been together for 10 years, right?"

"Yes, the company I joined in 2004 has been here for 10 years."

Dong Xiaopeng sighed: "Time flies so fast."

"You are a talent. You have been with me for so long. Now you want to develop into film and television. I have no reason not to support you."

Zhang Chaoyang put a grape into his mouth: "But the company's main focus is on self-produced dramas. For this movie you want to make, the company will give you up to 20 million yuan."

"If you want Zhou Yutang to take a look, I'll help you later, but you'd better not have too high expectations."

"Why?"

Dong Xiaopeng was slightly stunned.

"If it were me, I would be so happy chatting with the beautiful woman that I wouldn't bother to talk to you."

Zhang Chaoyang glanced over there lightly.

Yang Mi's face turned into a smile, and the two of them sat closer and closer, almost sitting on his lap.

Dong Xiaopeng understood instantly, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Boss, if I leave one more time, I will trouble you later."

After talking to Li Dagou, Zhang Chaoyang took the initiative to introduce Zhou Yutang: "Mr. Zhou, this is Dong Xiaopeng of our company."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Dong Xiaopeng stood up quickly, with a smile on his face and stretched out his hands.

"Xpeng has done well in online dramas recently."

Zhou Yutang also stretched out his hand and shook his hand.

In fact, when he first debuted, he was interviewed by Dong Xiaopeng, which left a bit of an impression on him.

He is a Northeastern man with a sharp tongue. It is said that he was in an underground band before. Later, he joined Sohu for some reason and became prosperous. He even became a disciple of the Northeast King. He is a very capable person.

It's just that our lives and work have little overlap, so naturally we don't know each other that well.

"I'm just making a small fuss. Compared to Mr. Zhou, it's not worth mentioning."

Dong Xiaopeng smiled flattered: "Mr. Zhou, let me toast you first."

While talking, he directly picked up the beer and drank it.

There were cheers in the box, and drinking was also a way to quickly bring the two closer together.

Sitting and chatting passively, Zhou Yutang quickly figured out the situation.

After achieving great success in online dramas, Dong Xiaopeng had the idea to develop into the film industry.

I thought about the script of "Pancake Man" by myself, and even submitted it to Jiangdong Entertainment for the Screenwriting Gold Award.

He really didn't know this.

Inspired by the huge bonus of tens of millions of dollars, countless screenwriters from all over the country submitted scripts. Dong Xiaopeng's "Pancake Man" did not even pass the preliminary review.

Seeing his eagerness to try, Zhou Yutang felt somewhat amused: "What do you want to say?"

"Director Zhou, this is my notebook."

Dong Xiaopeng was a little excited, and even with gestures on his hands, he explained his script with saliva: "I was inspired by being a diaosi man. The third season of this drama has received a very good response. I think it is best to adapt this model to Come to the movie, there should be a large part of the market audience.”

He seemed to be very anxious to prove himself. Seeing Zhou Yutang's face was as calm as a lake, and his expression was indifferent, he smiled cautiously:

"Director Zhou, I wonder if there will be a chance to invite you to play a guest role in my play?"

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared on Zhang Chaoyang's face.

This kid is really stupid, how dare he say this?

A well-respected film and television company CEO revealed in a drinking party: Zhou Yutang earns over 100 million for a movie, but the key is that even if you spend money, you may not be able to hire him.

Therefore, people in the circle send nicknames to entertain the gods.

Unless it's a favor situation with a close friend, Zhou Yutang doesn't accept guest appearances from outside at all.

Fearing that he would not be able to get off the stage, Zhang Chaoyang took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Zhou, Xiaopeng is a little drunk, don't mind."

"Xiaopeng has quite an idea."

Zhou Yutang chuckled nonchalantly and said, "We can communicate more together. As for guest appearances, forget it. My schedule is very tight."

"Mr. Zhou, I'm a bit presumptuous. I'll punish myself with three drinks."

Although Dong Xiaopeng was a little regretful, he didn't mention it again.

He looked polite and polite, but at heart he was a bit proud of the Northeastern people. He picked up the wine glass and drank three drinks in a row without hesitation.

"My ideas are not very mature yet. I hope Director Zhou can give me some suggestions."

"You want my advice?"

"Please give me some advice, Director Zhou."

Dong Xiaopeng sat upright, his ears pricked up.

The man in front of me is an international director with a Palme d'Or and a box office of double 2 billion. His control of the market is unparalleled in the world.

Dong Xiaopeng almost took out his notebook and wrote down everything he said.

"More than enough entertainment, not enough storytelling."

Zhou Yutang was not polite and poured cold water on him: "If you really want to develop into the film industry, I suggest you come up with a more sincere script."

"In this way, you will be worthy of yourself and the audience."

The game ends and everyone disperses.

Zhang Chaoyang had a very good chat with a model girl in the evening and planned to teach her physics in the evening.

Zhou Yutang also left with Yang Mi.

Everyone had a great night.

As soon as she got in the car, Da Mimi hooked her hands around the back of Zhou Yutang's neck and sat directly on his lap.

The long wavy hair is swaying, exuding a moving fragrance.

Today, Yang Mi was wearing a low-cut short black T-shirt, which revealed her slender neck, delicate collarbones, and the amazing curvature of her chest.

The deep gorge of skin under the collar means that children in the future will never have to worry about food rations.

Da Mimi, who is so red that she turns purple, is also at the peak of her charm.

Zhou Yutang's hands naturally rested on the fair and slender legs under the hot pants.

"Yu Tang, what are you talking about with Xiaopeng from Sohu?"

"Dong Xiaopeng has a movie project."

Zhou Yutang's other hand was not idle, supporting Yang Mi's slender waist.

It's more elastic than Xizhilang jelly and feels great to the touch.

"I remember, didn't Dong Xiaopeng do web dramas? Why did he go to film movies?"

"He wants to improve so much."

"I've seen the movie "Dose Man" and it was really popular. Maybe he can become popular if he makes a movie."

"It's not that simple."

Zhou Yutang told Damimi the secret.

Making movies is completely different from online dramas. The current self-produced dramas on websites are all designed to attract traffic. They don’t require anyone to spend money. As long as they have access to the Internet, they can watch them to their heart’s content.

The same is true for "Diaosi Man". The jokes are pieced together, and various stars and even a neon female teacher are invited to make cameos. However, if this model is put into a movie, it seems a bit sincere.

After all, everyone spends real money to go to the cinema and watch movies.

If the quality of the movie does not meet psychological expectations, Huitou.com will definitely take a heavy blow.

Disrespect the audience.

That's the price you have to pay for it.

Perhaps with proper marketing, Dong Xiaopeng can create a wave of leeks.

But his reputation is undoubtedly going to be rotten.

It may take several years or even ten years to pay it back.

"You are really amazing."

Although there are a lot of people around him who flatter him, Zhou Yutang still enjoys the admiration from the goddess' eyes of countless people.

"Just so-so, third in the world."

"You are out of breath when you say you are fat."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes in a very charming way: "Hey, Dong Xiaopeng added me on WeChat tonight, don't you think he wants to invite me to act in that play?"

Speak of the devil, the devil will appear.

The phone "dinged" and really received a voice message. Yang Mi opened it in front of her: "Hello, Mimi, I am Xiaopeng from Sohu. I have a project in hand now. I wonder if you are interested."

"This guy is really a talent."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed.

Yang Mi couldn't help laughing and touched Zhou Yutang's arm, "What do you say, do you want to accept it?"

She had absolute trust in Zhou Yutang.

"Don't you still have "The Silent War" in your hands?"

"No way."

Yang Mi sighed: "The company is just starting out now. If you want to make it, I have to take on more dramas."

"By the way, I heard that you are also interested in a newcomer from Beijing Film Academy this year?"

"Hmph, she is no worse than your most beautiful school girl Meng Ziyi."

Yang Mi raised her fair neck like a proud swan, then hugged Zhou Yutang's arm and shook it, and said coquettishly with her unique honey voice:

"Tell me quickly, should I take this drama?"

Feeling his arm being wrapped in softness, Zhou Yutang said helplessly: "It's up to you. If he really makes this drama, the box office will probably not be low, but the reputation will definitely be very bad."

"Then I'll let Sister Jia go to discuss the box office sharing."

Yang Mi's dark and bright eyes narrowed, and she smiled like a fox.

The contact with Dong Xiaopeng in the evening reminded Zhou Yutang that his own station B also had plans for online dramas.

After discussing several project proposals, the final test work was "Go Princess Go".

Adapted from the online novel of the same name, it tells the story of a modern man who travels through time and space to the body of an ancient princess.

It's a very interesting brain hole setting, and the main point of interest is the natural contradictions and conflicts between a man's heart and a woman's body.

"Yu Tang, the content of this project may be a bit over the line, and it's impossible to be broadcast on TV."

Li Shuang is sitting in a different position now, and has a very accurate grasp of the policy.

Projects like "Go Princess Go" are immoral in the eyes of those old guys in charge of censorship, and they will definitely not be broadcast on TV.

"Let's do it first, anyway, the investment is not big."

Zhou Yu Tang smiled softly and said, "There must be a way when the car reaches the mountain. This is all later. Let's talk about it later."

He has been in business for so long that a huge interest group has long been formed around him, including some people from the censorship department.

So many projects that others can't pass, Zhou Yu Tang has a way to pass.

Zhou Yu Tang dares to operate the themes that others dare not shoot.

There is a saying from our ancestors that makes a lot of sense.

Things in this world are all about you and me.

The project of "The Princess" was given to Jiang Xueluan, but it was definitely prioritized after "The Journey of Flower".

The summer season has finally come to an end.

Various media have also begun to take stock, except for the unshakable throne of "Red Ling".

Han Han's "See You Tomorrow" finally had a total box office of 609 million yuan, strongly suppressing "Tiny Times 3" to take the top spot, which can be said to be proud of it.

Before the movie was released, Guo Xiaosi's fans were clamoring wildly, but now the box office is only 458 million yuan, so they turned into moles and lowered their heads to drill into the hole.

Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" was a black all the way, and it took 637 million yuan in box office before it was closed, which was a sweet reward after suffering.

In contrast, "The White-Haired Witch", which was originally expected to be affected by the reputation of the movie, finally closed at only 360 million yuan, and will be closed in a few days.

The smoke of the summer vacation gradually dissipated. The following September was stuck between the summer vacation and the National Day vacation, which was a slow period for the film market.

The new students of the film academy began to report one after another.

For these who may be the rising stars of the entertainment industry, not only the entertainment companies in the circle are paying attention, but also various media have reported a lot.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is Dong Zijian.

Some people are born to be cattle and horses, and some people are born in Rome.

With Sister Hua paving the way for him, he had just entered Beijing Film Academy and had already starred in a movie, and also won the Best Newcomer Award at the Magic City Film Festival.

Xiao Dong drove a million-dollar luxury car into the school, put on sunglasses, and put his hands in his pockets. I don’t know who is his opponent.

But if we talk about the most popular, it is obviously not as good as Meng Ziyi who entered the school with the title of "the most beautiful school flower".

Jiangdong has a complete set of mature processes to promote people.

Including the early marketing press releases to build momentum, and then there are works to promote, including arranging for popularity on its own popular variety shows.

All the freshmen coming and going from Beijing Film Academy paid their respects to this well-proportioned Northeastern beauty.

It is no secret that Meng Ziyi signed with Jiangdong Entertainment.

If the entertainment industry is compared to the martial arts world, then today's Jiangdong Entertainment is probably the holy land of martial arts.

All the freshmen of the Film Academy are envious.

She has just entered school, and she has already received a role in "The Journey of Flower".

Even if it is a small role with not much screen time, it is a resource that ordinary people can hardly reach.

"I heard that she was spotted by Zhou Yutang during the art exam."

"The so-called most beautiful school beauty is just Jiangdong's marketing press release. I think Chen Yao is no worse than her this time."

"Are they so beautiful? The previous school beauties of Nortel were Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Li Yao, and Guli Nazha."

"You can believe Zhou Yutang's vision, she looks more like a vixen than Gulinazha."

"There is no way, some people are born with good luck."

Privately, I don’t know how many freshmen are envious and pantothenic.

I have just entered this new life circle, and everyone is not familiar with it yet, so they are chatting in their respective friend groups.

They may not have any idea about this circle, but they have a deep understanding of the power of Jiangdong Entertainment.

As long as you lean on this big tree, a road of green clouds will be paved at your feet.

Time has entered September, and Ning Hao's "Heart Blossoms Are Blooming" has also begun to promote.

Zhou Yutang saw this version of the trailer.

The beginning is the title of Soochow Pictures and Bad Monkey Pictures.

Then, the fonts of Director Ning Hao, co-starring Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, and guest starring Zhou Yutang were enlarged.

Xu Zheng and Huang Bo were acting funny together, and Zhou Yutang was the domineering and handsome CEO.

Tang Yan opened the car door and didn’t see the person, but saw his legs first.

very good, very powerful.

Anyway, Bad Monkey Pictures was in the Jiangdong Building. Zhou Yutang killed him directly. Ning Hao grinned with an innocent expression: "It's none of my business. It was my wife's idea to use you as a gimmick."

"Are you going to join the cast of "Now You See Me 2" again in a few days?"

"There aren't many scenes there. There are still a few meetings to be held in the next two days."

"How long will it take to complete?"

"It will probably be done within this month."

Zhou Yutang had a vague feeling in his heart. Before he could speak, Ning Hao grinned and said cheerfully, "That's great. You can still catch up with the movie promotion road show."

"roll."

Zhou Yutang laughed angrily.

He just made a cameo appearance and only had a few scenes, so he still had to be picked off.

"This game can't be played without you."

Ning Hao persuaded with sincerity: "Think about it, if the movie box office fails, I will lose everything and your boss Zhou will lose his face. Well, I think Nana's request is a little too much."

"Is that a little too much? I just made a few cameos."

Zhou Yutang can somewhat understand Huang Xiaoming.

It was promised that he would be a guest star, but during the film's promotion, he inexplicably became the main promotion force.

Of course, the quality of "Heart Blossoms" is several blocks higher than the movies in which Huang Xiaoming guest-starred.

"On these two stops, Zhongxi Opera and Beijing Dance, go and gain popularity."

Ning Hao had many tricks up his sleeve and made a concession: "Leave the rest to me, Bo'er and Xu Zheng. Bo'er is still in America."

"His wife is about to give birth?"

"I heard from Nana that the due date is just a few days away."

"Brother Bo is having his second child, so you and Sister Na should work hard."

Zhou Yutang sat on the sofa and chatted casually with Ning Hao.

Huang Bo's wife was an outsider. She gave birth to a daughter in 2011. At that time, Zhou Yutang gave her a big red envelope.

Xiao Ou is not an only child, so Huang Bo wants a second child, which does not comply with the policy that "single" children can have a second child.

But if you were born in America and become a U.S. citizen, you will not be included in the excess birth quota.

"Isn't Xu Zheng's "囧" about to start?"

"He's very capable."

Ning Hao smacked his lips: "Recently, I have been very close to Mr. Dong of Alibaba, and I even got Lao Wang in the spotlight."

Xu Zheng is quite capable.

The "囧" series made him reach the sky in one step. Now he is holding the "囧囧" card in his hand and actively carrying out capital operations.

The main participants were Alibaba Capital, and later Guangguang Laowang, who also entered the market through exchange of interests and resources.

In short, he has already made a lot of money before the project started shooting.

When Zhou Yutang came to see Mr. Guangguang, Xu Zheng was also there, so he couldn't help but talk about it.

Although he can be regarded as half a capital, Xu Zheng's attitude in front of Zhou Yutang is still eager and ingratiating.

Other people's rainbow farts really don't taste that good compared to Bald Xu's.

Zhou Yutang will not be involved in this project process, but he came here and took a look at the cast list.

Wang Baoyu and Huang Bo are not on the list, which also means that they have been kicked out.

In the face of interests, friendship is so fragile.

"Bao Beier?"

Zhou Yutang was slightly stunned when he found an unfamiliar name in the starring cast.

"I think his acting skills are quite good."

Xu Zheng said confidently: "And it is very malleable. Mr. Wang thinks it is very suitable."

The little abacus of this bald man's plan to get more fish for one fish was rattling.

Through capital operation, he was able to make a steady profit without losing any money, and then he attracted the light to enter the market, replaced Wang Baoqi with Bao Bei'er, and earned Wang Changtian's favor.

For such a hot film and television blockbuster IP, if Bao Bei'er is promoted to the level of Wang Baohao, even if it is only half, the light will take off directly.

"Stable."

In front of Wang Changtian, Zhou Yutang said he was playing it safe, but in his heart he was not optimistic about the bald man's move.

"Even Mr. Zhou said there is no problem, so this project will definitely make a lot of money."

Baldy Xu grinned and wanted to invite someone to dinner.

Zhou Yutang didn't bother to be polite to him. He said that something happened and walked away decisively.

As soon as I walked to the elevator, I met Liu Yan, the head host of Guangwang.

"What a coincidence?"

"Mr. Zhou, I'm waiting for you here."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhou Yutang was a little surprised.

"It's like this, Dong Xiaopeng offended you a few days ago, I hope you can be magnanimous and don't bother with him."

Liu Yan said sincerely: "He is a bit shameless, he talks nonsense when he is drunk, but his heart is not bad."

"Are you close?"

Zhou Yutang glanced at Liu Yan casually.

He has been on Guangguang's program since he debuted, and he has known Liu Yan for several years.

Liu Yan is also Liu Yifei's good friend, the kind that can be invited to her home to play.

With such a relationship, Zhou Yutang has never seen her speak for others.

"Yeah."

Liu Yan nodded slowly, with a smile on her face: "Xiao Peng and I met when we first came to Beijing. At that time, we were both migrant workers in Beijing and had little money. We often encouraged each other and were good friends."

"Then he is very lucky to have a good friend like you."

Zhou Yutang laughed: "I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first. Please tell him for me and wish him success."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Liu Yan smiled and said: "I'll see you off."

Chatting all the way, she sent Zhou Yutang to the Guangguang parking lot.

Get in the car.

Zhou Yutang looked at the graceful Liu Yan in the rearview mirror, smiling and waving.

He was moved.

In life, what else can I ask for if I can have such a friend?
